My Project

Students learn best through play. I’m hoping to receive these games and manipulatives in order for my students to learn best.

In my school a large amount of students are English language learners and need these hands on methods to build their skills.

The phonics games and manipulatives help students break down letter sounds and blends. They do this in fun exciting ways that will keep the students attention. In math it is helpful to have hands on tools for students to visualize the concepts. Second grade is a child’s last big chance to master foundational skills before they go to third grade and state testing.
